We had an amazing time at this resort. The location was perfect, right next to a beautiful beach and close to Moss Landing and Elkhorn Slough. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a hot tub open until 10 PM and fun activities like evening bonfires on the beach. The staff was friendly and the breakfast baskets delivered to our room were delicious. We also enjoyed driving around in the funny golf cart provided by the hotel.

Can't think of anything.
I loved the peaceful and quiet atmosphere at this hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful, even accommodating my request to move to an ADA accessible room. The nature walk was a great way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Having an oceanfront room was definitely a plus, with the soothing sounds of the waves. I also enjoyed sipping on my morning coffee and evening wine while taking in the breathtaking sunset views. Being able to bring my dog along and take her for walks on the beach was a wonderful bonus. This is definitely one of my favorite spots in California.
Nothing negative to say.
